“Osake” Cedar Park, 2018

こんばんは。It’s Friday! So why not have a drink to celebrate the arrival of the weekend?

At the moment, we have a couple houseguests staying with us for a few days, and they bought over a bottle of some delicious saké. 🍶 My tastebuds are not so fine-tuned as to detect the subtle differences in most saké but I know what I like, and I really like this one. 😆

As far as drinking goes, I usually have a drink every day, most commonly a glass of wine before dinner, or a beer with dinner. But on the weekends, a little more is okay! But I can’t remember the last time I had too much to drink! I guess getting older means the sleepy feeling overwhelms the party feeling more and more. 😀

I hope you had a nice week!

 “Curry and Eggs” Cedar Park, 2018

こんばんは。As you can see from the photo, it was Curry Nite at our house! Actually, this is day-2 curry, so it’s even better… and we cooked up a few eggs that my coworker’s chickens “donated” to us. The yolks are really bright and tasty, although in the photo I bumped up the vibrance a bit because I like the look.

We still have a lot of curry leftover, so it will probably go into the freezer so we can enjoy it farther down the road. Curry is one of the big three in Japanese home-cooking as far as I’m concerned. The other two being Oden and Nabe. But you can’t beat a big pot of curry IMHO!

I hope you had a nice Wednesday!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight Mariko had a few friends over for dinner and she decided to make pizza. Not just a single pizza, but multiple pizzas with different toppings! 🍕 She actually made twice as much dough as we could eat, plus the toppings left are enough for another Pizza Nite, which is fine by me since I am crazy about pizza.

If you are wondering about the topping selections, here’s what was available:

  • Italian sausage
  • Jalepeño
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil
  • Marinara sauce
  • Corn/tuna/mayo (a Japanese favorite)
  • Carmelized onion
  • Tomato
  • Mushrooms

I think we made about 7 small pizzas before we were all stuffed! Oh, in addition to pizza, there was kale, cauliflower, shrimp and cocktail sauce, green salad, and roasted potatoes. And wine! 🍷

The ladies are chatting away, even as it gets late, but I have to turn in… waking up at 5:30 am requires an early bed time. 😀

 “Sailor Moon S: The Movie” Austin, 2018

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight Mikey and I went to see a special screening “Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie” at the theater. Last week we saw the first and second Sailor Moon movies, which were really fun, so I was looking forward to this third one.

The story was pretty good, roughly following the story of The Pied Piper, in which sleeping kids are lured by the flute song of a stranger and kidnapped. As it turns out, Chibisua is taken with the rest of the kids, so it’s up to Sailor Moon and the rest of the gang, including the Sailor Moon Outer Senshi Sailor Pluto, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Uranus. I think that was my favorite part, seeing those three appear, and hearing Sailor Pluto use her “Dead Scream” attack. Very cool!

I would say that I liked this movie even more than its predecessors. It had a ton of action, funny scenes, and interesting villains. Plus the “dream coffins” were super creepy. 😱 Highly recommended movie, especially for anime fans!

I hope you had a great day!
